- Educational objectives
- The aim is to provide students with knowledge and competence needed for Renewable Heat and Power systems design and energy performance of buildings. The sizing criterions for the main components of renewable energy plants will be acquired.
Main knowledge acquired will be:
- Knowledge of the methodologies for buildings energy performance in compliance with statutory requirements;
- Knowledge of the heating and HVAC systems for buildings;
- Knowledge of the methodologies for designing renewable energy plants;
- Knowledge of technical solutions (working mode and performance);
The main competence (i.e. The ability to apply the acquired knowledge) will be:
- Plant design solutions in compliance with current regulation on energy savings;
- Design of a plant;
- Choice and sizing of the main components of plants;
- Plant design solutions in compliance with current regulation on energy savings;
- Economic analysis of a proposed solution. - Prerequisites
- In order to be able to understand and to apply the of the topics of the Course, students should know have the basic notions acquired in the Three-year Degree course, especially in the Applied Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer and Hydraulics courses.
Knowledge of these notions is a mandatory prerequisite for attending the course with profit. - Teaching methods
- Theoretical lessons and practical training
Field trips. - Other information
- The students should develop a project (Term paper) which should be revised before the exam.
- Learning verification modality
- The exam consists of an oral test and the presentation of a work on topics regarding the teaching course, made by the students individually or in a group and concerning a case study. The oral test consists of an interview of about 20-30 minutes long in order to verify the knowledge level and the understanding capability acquired by the student on theoretical and methodological contents.
The examination will also check the student communication skills and his ability in the exposure of the theoretical aspects. - Extended program
- - Renewable energy sources (Photovoltaic and solar thermal energy; Biomass energy; Wind Energy; Hydro energy).
- Sustainable buildings and energy efficiency.
- Heating and HVAC systems
- Environmental Impact assessment (Polluting emissions, LCA).
